With the peace talks in danger of falling through and the Jan 31st deadline of the threat towards military action looming, right now is a good time to take action for our friends in northern Uganda. I cannot tell you how awful it would be if the gov’t of Uganda or Congo went in—the child […]
TAKE ACTION!!! at Displace Me in DC (me with volunteers at displace me) (me with Zion PRoject volunteers at War/Dance screening with directors, Sean & Andrea Fine) WAYS to GET INVOLVED in ZION PROJECT! For
ZION PROJECT HAS OUR 501c3 STATUS…FINALLY 🙂 You might wonder what these two images have in common. Since I began Zion Project, about a year and half ago when God told me to, it has been a long road of filing for our non profit status and setting things up etc. None of the fun
I’m not above shameless self-promotion 😉 Before I return to JMU for the art exhibit Feb 16th, thought I’d share the article they did on me being a world changer. http://www.jmu.edu/madisononline/madison/wm_library/Fall07_P30-P39.pdf http://www.jmu.edu/madisononline/hartz.shtml
(Yours truly laughing with Ryan Gosling as he said, “Let’s make it look like we’re having a really great time.” I think I can do that) (An event in DC on Capitol Hill for peace in N. Uganda) “Africa is a continent of second chances.” John Prendergast made this statement last week at an

I never know where to begin to talk about my experiences in Northern Uganda. It’s as if when I come back, my heart is still over there and mouth has not yet caught up with my heart. Gradually stories will come out of me as I regain
This week so far in Kampala has been really good. I was able to take the Ugandan family I love and support the items that Barcroft school and others sent. It was so cute because kids from Barcroft school wrote letters to my kids and the kids thought that was just the best thing in
The sun sets a stream of red over a long horizon above the deserts of Sudan. As I fly over I feel my heart sense that I am coming closer to home. I have always said God was in sunsets. He is probably in sunrises too if I could ever wake up for them. From
Sometimes I feel my heart stop beating. When I was twelve, I convinced myself I had a heart murmur. I wasn’t quite sure exactly what that was but I felt sure it had something to do with feeling your heart quit. Or maybe hearing it talk— as if it were speaking a warning—that it couldn’t
They say animals become restless before birth. There doesn’t seem to be a soft enough space to lie or right enough place to make a home. Everything is uncomfortable, wrong, and the places that should feel familiar don’t offer the reprieve they used to. When I was retreating in Mbale I saw the most precious
